Does anyone know if the login link has changed? I had it bookmarked to be able to login to SIM's (for PT BC apps etc) but when I click it takes me to the SIMs page with the resources and the top right where it shows 'login/register' when I click there it now goes to more student pages where they can apply for FT or PT logins and nothing for a school.

I am sure I am missing something simple but... I can't seem to find where to now login....

Is anyone aware of the timeline when the Ministry will post the 25/26 exceptional circumstances review for students?

Greetings, OASFAA Friends!

The Ministry’s Business Unit has reached out to the OASFAA Systems Committee to discuss development priorities for the coming year. The committee has identified three key issues for discussion:

1. Improvements to the newly introduced reinstatement upload process (introduced in a December 13, 2024 FAO portal posting)

2. Efficiency and quality of life improvements in the PTCSL administrative system

What do other FAO offices do when it comes to BSWD applications and letters of rationale from their Disability Services Office. The manual sets us up for interpretation issues (as always). Do you just accept the box that was checked on Section D/page 7 of the application and not require the actually written rationale from the DSO office? Help! :-)

Subject: Re: StudentAid BC - Service Delivery Disruption

UPDATE - September 24, 2025

Due to a labour dispute, the Ministry of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills continues to experience a disruption in service delivery, which is impacting our ability to respond to our clients.

Please note:

• Access to StudentAid BC online application systems is not available to students at this time.

Hi, We signed our TPA agreement in August 2025 and have had no reply yet from MCURES about timing when funds will be sent. We have run out of funding and have had to hold all incoming applications.

We had some retirements last year and have lost some institutional knowledge! Trying to understand historically when the funding comes in for BSWD from the Ministry so we can give an idea to students and AccessAbility office what the wait times could be.

Thanks!
